BY LEOXE CASS BAER. , FRANCES RING is going: home to! her perfectly good, big, handsome moving - picture - h e r o husband. Thomas Meighan. She wears his pic ture in her watch, carries a roll of film showing: him looking: out of the stage coach in that M'llss play, where he heroed with Mary Pickford. and besides that, 'she flaunts her wedding: ring openly, a custom not always adhered to by women of the stage. "I'm so glad I'm appearing In a play where I'm a Mrs.," said Frances Ring, who looks enough like her sister Blanche to be her twin. ' Harve says Frances is a Ringer for Blanche. She is too only Frances is the baby of the girls. She has red golden hair and lovely big eyes, and is full of fun. The reason she's glad she's a Missus in' "Upstairs and Down" is because she can wear her wedding ring. It was supposedly put on my fair finger by my noble stage husband, Tony Ives, who is drifting away from me because ho is so fascinating to other women," she says, "and I am such an addle pated social butterfly. So I let the audience think its part-of the play. But my big sweetie Tommie put it on my finger and I'm still sentimental about it and Tommie, and it hap pened several years ago at that." Doable-Decker It Is. (Envy note. It's one of those grand double-decker platinum ones, girls, ab solutely stuffed tight with diamonds all around its middle. No woman could forget she's married with one like that before her eyes.) Talking of rings, Frances Ring says she is a natural born homemaker and ah wants to go home, home being an apartment in New Tork, and try her band at cooking some nice food for Tommie. No doubt if Tommie knew all this he'd wire for her to quit the show and come on home. I positively adore a kitchen and pots and pans and stew-kettles, and I'd like to retire forever and forever and never poke my nose into a ,. theater save as a paying patron, sitting In a plush -seat with my nicest frock and my nice big Tommie sitting beside me, and wondering between acts if little Tom's tummy-ache has stopped or lit tle Frances has kicked the covers off. No, come to think of It, if little Tom bad a tummy-ache his mamma QUAKERS IN SESSION Lures Many Delegates. WAR WORK IS DISCUSSED Statistical Reports Show ISct Gain in Membership of 109 for Year. Church Heads Give Stir ring Talks. j BY ADDISON BENNETT. . The second day of the convention of Veterinarians from Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho was an extremely busy find interesting one. There are 25 dele gates. attending the sessions at the .Im perial Hotel. Yesterday morning was put in by the various Burgeons in such manner as best suited them until about 11 o'clock, when they gathered at the Portland Union Stockyards and were from there escorted to the Union Meat Company, where they were met by President C. C. Colt, and were soon eeated to partake of a fine lunch. After lunch they were shown through tHe packing-house and the modus op erandi of the various stages of the livestock from its entrance into the plant on foot until its departure as meat was fully explained to the visit ors. City Abattoir Visited. After a couple of hours spent there, the visitors were taken by autos to the city abattoir, where they were en lightened by witnessing the killing and inspection of horses for edible meat purposes. Here the delegates,' with Veterinarian E. E. Chase. Portland's meat Inspector, as operator, inspected an alleged tubercular cow, milk from "which it was supposed had recently caused the death of an infant on the East Sid The animal was found to be a veritable colony of tubercular germs. Dr. "W. H. Lytle. Oregon State Vet erinarian, operated on t tue mule for the purpose of removing the "bray." It seems that since the days of Julius Caesar this has been the aim of vari ous scientists. Caesar himself took a band in the matter and by tying'brlcks to the tans or various animals or that T p;il , , i ,,, r variety succeeded in temporarily check- TWenty-SlXth Anniial Meeting lng the bray and causing a terrible rumpus, but the mules couldn't always be kept with bricks on their tails. The mule operated on yesterday, however, actually lost his "bray." Whether the loss is permanent or not is another question, but Mr. Mule tried to show his musical talents after the operation without success. What was done is that a cartilage partition on the nose was removed. The cartilage acted as a Bounding board against which the mule exhaled in braying. At the abattoir several horses were operated on for va rious troubles as a sort of clinic for the edification of the vets. Tetanus ITnder Discussion. At 5 P. la. the visitors met again at the Imperial and went into session. Dr. H. Nunn, of Corvallis. read a paper en titled "A Case of Tetanus In a Mare." This was said to be a fine and edu cational discourse and at its conclu sion it was the subject of considerable discussion. For whatever else may be said of the visiting vets, they seem to be here to learn. They are a mighty intelligent-looking lot of gentlemen and not one of them in the least re sembles the .old-time "horse doctor. who cut and'Carved and carved and cut until the subject departed life. Many of the visitors are real scien tists. That can truly be said of Dr. C. H. Schultz, of Seattle, Wash. He read a paper during the afternoon on the subject. Mysterious Losses Among cattle in the .Pacific Northwest," which was of a scientific character. Dr. fachultz came loaded with a great mass or plates and a magnifying apparatus, which he Invited the members to in spect to determine the characteristics of some of the vicious organisms re sponsible for our cattle losses. He is a deep student and is recognized to (stand at the head of his profession on the westward slope of the united States. Dr. E. T. Baker, of Moscow, Idaho, also read a paper, his subject being "Diagnosis of Sheep Diseases." He was complimented on nis paper, and con siderable discussion followed. Sheep Klocks Shrink. Some pertinent facts were brought out at the meeting. One was the state ment that whereas in 1893 New York etate had 5.000,000 sheep, today there are but 400,000 in the state. Many think the shrinkage in not only New iorK, out in an tne Eastern states, arises chiefly from predatory dogs. But the vets assert It is due solelv to the infection of the soils of those sections with parasites. And it is the aim of men like Dr. Schultz to prevent the ciseases or livestock in this section of the country in their incipiency before the soils become the bearer over wide areas of these death-dealing parasites. 1 his is the first meeting of the vets or tne three Northwest .states, but it is Hoped to hold them hereafter. the events to occur every second year, thi lilaces of meeting to be at Portland, bpoKane and Boise. It is a labor of love and education that brings these gentlemen together. They pay their own expenses. There are no rebates of railroad fares.1 no profit or exemp tion of costs; they come to. learn that they may be the more expert in the vocation and thus relieve the country in a great measure of the terrible losses that annually befall the owners of livestock. Last night the visitors banqueted at the Impel ial and today they will have various sittings. Among the duties to be performed i the offering and con sidering of resolutions and the reading oi iiiriarr papers. mere will be no election of orticei-s. for no association or aociety has been formed or is con trmplated. It is just a get-together gathering of the vets of the three frtates. The members last night, were look lng forward with pleasure to a visit today by Dr. W. L. Wiliiams, of the Cornell University. He is, perhaps, the most prominent veterinarian in this . country, and is known all over the world through his publications, bring the autnor or many text tuoks used in this and various other countries. He is now, or was yesterday, in British Columbia, but he is expected here about noon today. wouldn't go to see any show. I'd stay home and rock him to sleep. She is the prettiest, sweetest little woman, and I wished Tommie Meighan could see her bubbling away about her imaginary babies. For there isn't any little Tom, or little Frances. 'That is. not Just now. Tinsel and Glitter Wearisome. "But I've come to ' the Margaret Hlington stage, where I'm sicZc of' all the tinsel and glitter and artificiality of-the theater and I want to go home and stay home and have a flock of babies," said Frances Ring, seriously. "You remember that line in the play, Upstairs and Down, where I say "I wish I'd married the butcher and had a dozen children? Well those are my sentiments only of course I don't wish I'd married a butcher. I'm glad I'm married to Tom Meighan, but I wieh I had at least a half-dozen kiddies. My friendswill drop dead when they hear of my new religion,. but I don't care. I come of a theatrical family. Great grandfather Alexander Fisher used to troupe out here in the stagecoach days. My grandfather, his son, was an actor. Then it skipped one generation and dad was not ot the theater. But it cropped out again in all of us. There's Blanche and Julie and Cyril and me. But our children are going to be the generation that's missed again. Gordon MacNichoI, Blanche's son, is a Second Lieutenant in field artillery stationed in South Carolina. He is leaving soon for France and Blanche and mother are visiting him now. "Another nephew, Edward Sutherland, has enlisted and another one. Earl Dunham, is a naval quartermaster, on the Eastern coast. My brother. Cyril, and Tommie may go. Cyril, you know, is -married to Charlotte Greenwood. But we are just one family. I think of the "thousands of families whose loved ones are going across and it lessens my own grief.-" Frances Ring's greatest recreation is attending all the motion picture the aters where smiling Tom Meighan ap pears on the screen. "It's, like a little visit with him," she sighed, "quite as if he were quarantined and I could see him through a window. It only serves to make me more homesick, however, and soon you will hear nothing of Frances Ring, for she will be known only as Tom Meighan's wife, who stays home and keeps his house."
